Easy Grilled Marinated Swordfish

Last night, we had a great dinner of grilled swordfish and barley risotto. Notice there’s a vegetable missing from that ensemble? Well, that’s because we tried to make this…

But we failed. At least we got a pretty picture! If anyone knows the secret to making an artichoke, please impart your knowledge to me. This is our second time attempting to make artichokes – they never end up edible! Maybe it’s because I used to tell people I was allergic to artichokes (as well as most other vegetables!). It took a lot to get me to even think about trying an artichoke – maybe it’s just not meant to be.

It took a lot to get me to try fish for the first time, too. I still don’t like “fishy” fish. My favorite fish now are seared tuna and swordfish, but I am trying to expand my fish palate. One of my requirements for fish is that it has to have a lot of flavor. Usually, this is in the form of a tasty sauce. Yesterday, I decided to change it up and see if I could like a fish that had a tasty marinade. It was a success!

Good marinades are so easy because all you do is throw a few ingredients together, leave the meat for a while and cook it. This is one that you’re going to want to try! We used a grill pan inside because we, unfortunately, do not have an outdoor grill.

Just grill your marinated fish over medium high heat for about 5 minutes.
